Correct.  But it has no concept of any CPU except the first.  So, it
doesn't "support" any beyond the first. :-)

Basically, it's just oblivious to the whole thing, and just rambles
along in its single-CPU euphoria...

The point I was trying to make is that the non-support of SMP isn't a
port-specific issue.  NetBSD simply has no concept of multi-CPU at
all, in the general case.  So, it doesn't matter what architecture
you're talking about, it's still not going to run on anything but a
single CPU.
